Bitcoin always dominates headlines, but not DeFi. Introducing the @PortaltoBitcoin. This might be one of the biggest unlocks for Bitcoin that we’ve seen recently 👇🧵
2/ What is @PortaltoBitcoin? Most “Bitcoin in DeFi” projects rely on wrappers (like wBTC) or bridges with risks. Portal reject that. They’re building the first fully non-custodial way to trade BTC, Ordinals, and Runes across L1s/L2s / with no one holding your keys.
3/ The tech behind it? - BitScaler → lets BTC scale horizontally w/ zero protocol changes - Portal OS → cross-chain infra for swaps, liquidity, routing - MP-HTLCs → atomic swaps that actually work fast & cheap Portal decided to build it all natively around Bitcoin.
4/ Simplicity They left behind the multi-sig vaults and clunky bridges. @PortaltoBitcoin uses dynamic AMMs (ADMMs) that batch trades per block - basically minimising gas fees and slippage. Cross chain liquidity but without having to pay the price of security worries.
6/ Aurelia Testnet Wanna earn before the crowd shows up? @PortaltoBitcoin’s testnet (“Aurelia”) is live. Only 21K Litenodes will exist - each earning ongoing network rewards. Do the tasks —> earn “sparks” —> climb the leaderboard
7/ Kaito x Portal The Kaito Yapper Leaderboard for @PortaltoBitcoin is live too. Rewards? Top contributors can earn 0.5% of the $PORTAL supply. Take this thread as an example 🙂
